Tories Lose Out On Tax And By Elections

Liberal Democrats made two gains in the council by elections from Tories who saw a huge fall in their vote share.

Just a day after a poll by the Evening Standard showed that people know it's Liberal Democrats who are driving tax cuts in Government, not the Conservatives, this disastrous result will set Tory alarm bells ringing even louder.

The Conservatives also did badly against Labour in seats that are closely fought between the two parties, including Amber Valley, Crewe and Nantwich and Luton South.

Thursday's by elections underlined the long running trend that where Liberal Democrats are active in their communities, they poll very well.

Our congratulations go out to Andy Boddington who won Ludlow North in Shropshire and Michael Sole elected to represent Barham Downs, Kent.
